re-purchasable subscription: can be used any number of times while it is active for this example, we have developed a basic coin collecting game in unity for android and added ui buttons that allow users to buy iap items (consumable and non-consumable) and a subscription. the “buy super jump” button initiates purchasing a super jump item from galaxy store using the samsung iap sdk. super jump is a consumable item which enables the player to jump higher than normal. similarly, the “upgrade player” button initiates purchasing a player upgrade, which is a non-consumable item. this blog only covers consumable and non-consumable purchases, we’ll discuss subscriptions in a future blog. figure 1: preview of the sample game developed in unity. note: you are required to develop your game/application in unity beforehand to integrate the iap unity plugin into it. integrate the samsung iap unity plugin after creating the game in unity, you need to enable samsung iap functionalities in your project. follow the steps below: import the samsung iap unity plugin package into the project. in unity, click assets -> import package -> custom package and select the downloaded plugin package. you can now see the plugins folder under your assets folder and the “samsungiap.cs” script at assets/plugins/script. copy or move the “samsungiap.cs” script into the default scripts folder of your project (where all the scripts are kept together) so that other scripts can access it easily. if you don’t already have a scripts folder, create a new one and keep all your project scripts together along with “samsungiap.cs.” create an empty game object in the hierarchy tab and drag-and-drop the “samsungiap.cs” script onto it. in our sample project, we have renamed the game object as “samsungiap.” click on the “samsungiap” game object and check if the iap functionality is enabled in the inspector, as shown below: figure 2: samsung iap is enabled for the project. set the iap operation mode iap supports three operational modes. the production mode is for enabling billing for item purchases and the other two are for testing iap functions without billing the game users for item purchases. the default operation mode is set to operation_mode_test with the return value as success, but you can set the return value to failure instead, or switch to operation_mode_production by checking (√) the production build checkbox in the inspector as shown in figure 2. you can learn more about the iap operation modes and how they work from here. register the game and iap items in seller portal to process/test the samsung iap operations, both your game and any iap items need to be registered in seller portal. follow the steps below: ensure you have switched the platform of your game to android and the package name is different from the apps registered in other app stores. you can rename the package name of your project from player settings -> other settings. save your unity project and build the apk file. in unity, go to file -> build settings and then click the build button. follow the steps listed in register an app and in-app items in seller portal and complete the registration of your game and iap items accordingly. for our sample game, we have registered a consumable and a non-consumable item with the ids “buysuperjump” and “buyupgradedplayer” respectively. keep the item ids in mind as they will be required when initiating the purchases. you can add testers (non-licensed and licensed) in the binary tab of seller portal while registering your game in the manner covered in the previous step. licensed testers are not charged for purchasing any iap items. you can register the licensed testers in your seller portal profile. see iap testing for more information. get previously purchased items make sure to retrieve any previously purchased non-consumable and unconsumed items every time the user starts the game. use the getownedlist() method of the iap plugin to get information about the items the user has already purchased. however, please note there is a script called “player.cs” in our project which is added to the main player game object as a component. from now on we will be editing the code in “player.cs” to enable all the samsung iap functions for this project. follow the steps below: add the following line at the beginning to access the samsung iap libraries in this script. using samsung; call the getownedlist() method whenever the game launches by adding the following line at the beginning of the start() method. learn more about the getownedlist() method here. samsungiap.instance.getownedlist(itemtype.all, ongetownedlist); after the processing of the getownedlist() method is completed, the ongetownedlist callback is triggered, which receives information about the specified purchased items and api call processing. we need to implement this callback method under the same class as in the following; void ongetownedlist(ownedproductlist _ownedproductlist){ if(_ownedproductlist.errorinfo != null){ if(_ownedproductlist.errorinfo.errorcode == 0){// 0 means no error if(_ownedproductlist.results != null){ foreach(ownedproductvo item in _ownedproductlist.results){ if(item.mconsumableyn == "y"){ //consume the consumable items and onconsume callback is triggered afterwards samsungiap.instance.consumepurchaseditems(item.mpurchaseid, onconsume); } if(item.mitemid == "buysuperjump"){ superjump++; } else if(item.mitemid == "buyupgradedplayer"){ playermaterial = resources.load<material>("playermaterial"); meshrenderer meshrenderer = getcomponent<meshrenderer>(); meshrenderer.material = playermaterial; } } } } } as you can see, some actions have been taken inside the game depending on the respective item ids. for example, the super jump counter has been increased and the material of the player gets changed. if there is any consumable item which has not been reported as consumed, then the consumepurchaseditems() method is invoked. we describe this method in the next section. consume purchased consumable items use the consumepurchaseditems() method to report the purchased consumable item as consumed, which enables the item to be purchased again. see acknowledge a purchased consumable item to understand this process better. when the process of the consumepurchaseditems() method in the previous section is finished, the item data and processing results are returned to the onconsume callback method. we need to implement this method in the same way under the same class as we implemented the ongetownedlist method earlier. void onconsume(consumedlist _consumedlist){ if(_consumedlist.errorinfo != null){ if(_consumedlist.errorinfo.errorcode == 0){ if(_consumedlist.results != null){ foreach(consumevo item in _consumedlist.results){ if(item.mstatuscode == 0){ //successfully consumed and ready to be purchased again. } } } } } } get purchasable iap items the users may want to see details of the available iap items in the store for the game. the getproductsdetails() method helps to retrieve detailed information (for example, item name, price, or id) about the iap items registered in your game that are available for users to purchase. there is a ui button “available items” in our sample game for querying the purchasable items. after clicking this button, brief information for each item is presented in a simple dropdown list next to the button (see figure 3). to get the list of available items: declare a button variable and a dropdown variable in the beginning of the “player.cs” script. public button getproductsbutton; public dropdown itemlist; add a listener method for the “available items” button at the end of the start() method. getproductsbutton.onclick.addlistener(ongetproductsbutton); to initiate the getproductsdetails() method, we need to implement the listener ongetproductsbutton() method. void ongetproductsbutton(){ //get all the product details samsungiap.instance.getproductsdetails("", ongetproductsdetails); } after the processing is completed on the server side, the ongetproductsdetails callback is triggered, which contains information about the available iap items. implement this callback method and add information of each item to the dropdown method so that the users can see them easily. in the example, we show only the item name and price. void ongetproductsdetails(productinfolist _productlist){ if (_productlist.errorinfo != null){ if (_productlist.errorinfo.errorcode == 0){// 0 means no error if (_productlist.results != null){ itemlist.clearoptions(); list<string> optionitems = new list<string>(); int i = 1; foreach (productvo item in _productlist.results){ string temp = i+ ". " + item.mitemname + ": $ " + item.mitemprice; optionitems.add(temp); i++; } itemlist.addoptions(optionitems); } } } } figure 3: showing the available iap items in the game. the information about all iap items is shown in the dropdown menu as a list. you can show only one specific item or more items by specifying their ids in the getproductsdetails() method if you want. learn more about the method here. purchase iap items there are two ui buttons (see figures 1 and 3) in our sample game, namely “buy super jump” and “upgrade player,” for purchasing consumable and non-consumable items, respectively. the variables for these two buttons are declared in the beginning of the start() method and two listener methods: onbuysuperjumpbutton() and onupgradeplayerbutton() are added at the end of the start() method of “player.cs” script. consequently, tapping on these buttons invokes the corresponding methods in the script. follow the steps below to complete in-app purchasing: to enable the “buy super jump” and the “upgrade player” buttons purchasing a super jump and a player upgrade, we need to instantiate the startpayment() method inside the button listeners with the corresponding item ids.void onbuysuperjumpbutton(){ //purchase a consumable item samsungiap.instance.startpayment("buysuperjump", "", onpayment); } void onupgradeplayerbutton(){ //purchase a non-consumable item samsungiap.instance.startpayment("buyupgradedplayer", "", onpayment); } after the payment processing is completed, the onpayment callback is triggered, which contains information about the purchased item, the transaction, and api call processing. we need to implement this callback method and act according to the item ids as in the following:void onpayment(purchasedinfo _purchaseinfo){ if(_purchaseinfo.errorinfo != null){ if(_purchaseinfo.errorinfo.errorcode == 0){ if(_purchaseinfo.results != null){ //your purchase is successful if(_purchaseinfo.results.mconsumableyn == "y"){ //consume the consumable items samsungiap.instance.consumepurchaseditems(_purchaseinfo.results.mpurchaseid, onconsume); } if(_purchaseinfo.results.mitemid == "buysuperjump"){ superjump++; } else if(_purchaseinfo.results.mitemid == "buyupgradedplayer"){ playermaterial = resources.load<material>("playermaterial"); meshrenderer meshrenderer = getcomponent<meshrenderer>(); meshrenderer.material = playermaterial; } } } } } for the consumepurchaseditems() method, we have already implemented the onconsume listener method. in this way, in-app purchasing is fully implemented for both consumable and non-consumable items. next, build the project, run it on your galaxy device, and check that the iap works flawlessly. in addition, you may update the apk of your game in seller portal and submit a beta version for more iap testing. see the test guide to learn more about testing. do not forget to switch the iap operation mode to operation_mode_production before submitting the game to be published. conclusion this tutorial explains the entire procedure of integrating the samsung iap unity plugin and using the iap functionalities for a sample game. therefore, we hope that you can make use of this tutorial and develop an in-app purchase enabled game for galaxy store using unity and sell your game items successfully to generate revenue. follow up this site has many resources for developers looking to build for and integrate with samsung devices and services. stay in touch with the latest news by creating a free account or by subscribing to our monthly newsletter. visit the marketing resources page for information on promoting and distributing your apps. finally, our developer forum is an excellent way to stay up-to-date on all things related to the galaxy ecosystem.

Devs Doing it Right: Hitcents and ThroughLine Games

today, we're talking with ed mills, co-founder of hitcents, and alfred nguyen, creative director and producer of forgotton anne for throughline games. hitcents is a full-service video game publisher and developer, focused on bringing to market high-quality, indie-developed titles. founded in 1999 as a software company, hitcents’ passion for games slowly took over and pivoted the company. by 2012, the company was full steam ahead in the gaming industry as a developer and publisher. to date, it has worked with notable and well-recognized brands and celebrities, such as the godfather, nba, tom hanks, adam levine, one direction, and floyd mayweather. one of its most celebrated franchises is draw a stickman, which has been played more than one hundred million times and has global success on the nintendo switch, xbox one, steam, and mobile. tell us about hitcents. ed: hitcents is a full-service video game publisher and developer, but that is not where we started. our journey is part of what makes us such a unique company. hitcents was basically started as a software company on the carpet floors of our home in kentucky when my twins clinton and chris mills were 16-years-old. over the last 20 years our focus has changed, but the core of everything we do is still software. bootstrapped, with no outside investments for 20+ years, gaming has been a key driver of our success for more than a decade. we’ve had success across the gaming spectrum, from pc to console games to mobile apps. our most successful titles are: draw a stickman - the franchise has been played more than 100m+ times. draw a stickman: epic 2 - has seen 18 million purchases and installs across multiple platforms. the godfather: family dynasty - we were the first company to bring don corleone to mobile. currently, we work with a wide range of indie games and developers, and are always open to good gaming content. we publish games created by one-person developer shops, like get to the orange door, a retro futuristic rogue-lite fps releasing in 2020, to games created in other countries that have more of an edge and statement, like the cinematic platformer ministry of broadcast, which also launched in early 2020 and deals with concepts such as big brother, fake tv and a satirical look at politics, plus many more. can you share how you started as a game developer and ultimately became a game publisher? ed: it’s kind of crazy how we got started in games. hitcents was more of a complex ecommerce web agency and our creative director had an idea to draw a stickman and bring it to life on a browser. the weekend we launched draw a stickman we had millions of visitors, which ended up crashing our servers for all our clients. needless to say, it seemed tragic at the time, but the brand draw a stickman emerged as a successful, long-standing ip for hitcents. the brand has won 5 webby awards and made both hollywood and the game industry take note of us. as a result, a-list clients started to come on board with new content and connections, bringing us early success in games. this led to our partnering with caa for ip-related games. hitcents has many popular titles. we want to focus on forgotton anne. can you tell us about this game, available now on galaxy store? ed: forgotton anne is a seamless cinematic adventure with meaningful storytelling and a light puzzle platform. you play anne, the enforcer, who keeps order in the forgotten lands as she sets out to squash a rebellion that might prevent her master, bonku, and herself from returning to the human world. in the game, you step into a hand-animated realm of wonder in which everyday objects take on a life of their own. imagine a place where all that is lost and forgotten goes -- old toys, letters, socks. forgotten lands is this magical world inhabited by forgotlings; living mislaid objects longing to be remembered. in my opinion, and i’m sure the readers will think i’m biased, but the opening sequence in forgotton anne is so much fun to watch. i now know where all my lost socks go. forgotton anne has a stunning visual style and interactive game experience. what systems do you use to create game concepts and story characters? alfred: to create anne and forgotten lands, our artists use adobe products, as well as clip studio paint and tv paint to design, paint, and animate most of the sprites you see in the game, as well as the detailed environmental assets. with the protagonist anne alone more than 5000 frames were drawn! for story overview and testing, we used a lot of documents, spreadsheets, and a free software called twine that is great to test branching dialogues. how important is user experience when designing your games? alfred: the user experience is very important when designing a game. it is always a delicate balance between taking the player into consideration and staying true to a specific intention. knowing that sometimes a player might not immediately like a specific design, even though it adds a dimension that contributes positively to the game experience as a whole. this was the case when it came to prioritizing fluid animation over some degree of the controls’ responsiveness, or when we decided not to include game over, as it would negatively affect the pacing of the game. forgotton anne features light puzzles and platforming sections. however, it is very much a story about anne and letting the player make choices in her stead, to see how the consequences play out. how will the player use anne’s authority and deal with conflicts? alfred: when designing we let storytelling and emotions come first. then we discuss how we can make things the most intuitive for the largest target audience. however, as developers we have to accept that different players like different things. in the end, we are just happy that as many people as possible love the game! what are some of the challenges you face while developing your games? alfred: one challenge was to create a seamless cinematic experience where the player doesn’t feel a traditional cut between storytelling cutscenes and gameplay. the way we managed this was to ensure that there were no loading screens while playing and that all cutscenes were rendered in-game so the player was not presented with a different aesthetic when a longer story scene played out. the whole game is voice-acted and we created a ‘talk animation system’ to make it feel like the words were acted out. this really adds to the immersion. artwise we aimed for an incredibly rich and detailed painted environment. this presented its own challenge, as we had to make sure the player could discern how to navigate the 2.5d world, allowing for some travel in the z-depth axis at certain intersections. which objects would the player be able to interact with or bump into and which were decorative elements? something that sounds very trivial, like walking up and down stairs, was actually also a challenge as we wanted anne to feel real with her animations, unlike many other 2d games. if you pay attention, you will notice her feet place themselves correctly on the steps, as do her hands when she is climbing ladders. the tone of the game was also a challenge we wanted to get right. the premise of the game is very outlandish and quirky, with echoes of fairy tales like beauty and the beast, but at the same time we wanted to create a very realistic world. we were trying to strike a tone that could easily go from emotional and serious when dealing with themes of consumerism and authoritarianism to funny and endearing using the diverse cast of forgotling characters. are there common errors made by developers while programming games? alfred: scoping a game is always really hard. in early development you tend to be overambitious, and rightly so, as you need to explore the best version possible of the game you are making. however, it is important to constantly update plans and make the necessary cuts when necessary, as most developers don’t have the luxury of working without deadlines. these cuts tend to be a good thing, as it sharpens the concept and forces the developer to prioritize what is really important to the game and player’s experience, instead of falling into the typical pitfall of feature-creeping, i.e. adding features to the game due to the worry that it is not fun enough for players. forgotton anne boasts a number of awards. what is the basic structure for developing a successful game? ed: we don’t think there is a secret formula to creating hit games, or the market would be flooded with them. but, there are some universal truths one can rely on for added probability. one of them is knowing your intentions and having a capable team that has the necessary competences to execute. communication is key, as it does not matter how skilled each individual is on the team if there is a lack of understanding between the people. i also strongly believe in an organic approach to development, where you need to accept changing circumstances and adapt quickly to them. we rarely set out knowing exactly every little detail of the finished game. if we did, it would prove to be detrimental to the creative process, as half the fun is coming up with solutions and discovering great ideas over the course of realizing the initial vision. while iterating on gameplay mechanics, we might discover a great opportunity to emphasize a storytelling aspect, or perhaps a piece of composed music could inspire how a sequence could play out. there is still so much to explore with the medium of games and its storytelling potential. that is really our aim and we hope that it translates to some originality that resonates with players. how do you stay up to date with the latest game and software trends? ed: there are a couple of ways. every major platform on mobile and console has a developer conference and these shows offer the best avenue to listen and learn. another popular option is to go with an established publisher that often has early access to beta programs and has boots on the ground looking for the latest changes and opportunities to use tools that make a better product and potentially make work quicker. as a publisher, we are always playing and researching as many games as we can; reading up on trends in the industry -- who’s hot, what’s not; and researching new technologies and marketing techniques. what advice do you have for indie developers attempting to develop a successful game business? ed: start with a team, even if it's just 2 people. to make a game it requires many skill sets. i like to see experts, or someone that desires to be an expert, at each position or task. for example, you can have one team member specializing in art design plus knowledge of ui (user interface) and ux (user experience), who can complement a programmer. the more well-rounded each team member is the more fun the project and the less time wasted searching for answers to complex development problems. create a gdd (game design document) that maps out the major aspects of the game. this will save countless hours of unneeded art and programming. it's ok to iterate upon your gdd, but do start with a solid foundation. choose the best language/engine to make your game. though unity is great for 3d games and can port over to android with relative ease, sometimes it can lose the true feel of doing the code in its native environment if you are producing a 2d game or an app. the best advice i can give is to find a team member with the skill set that complements your game or app idea. if you are a programmer, stay with what you know and get better at it. decide what your time commitment is to making your game, i.e. months? years? paid games are easier to go to market than free-to-try, but free-to-try will get you more downloads over time. this question can be a blog all on its own, so again having a good publisher can help more than almost anything. with all of your current success, what is next for hitcents? ed: the godfather:family dynasty game has become over the past 3 years one of, if not the most, successful mobile paramount game. hitcents is planning the next big game with a known brand on par to the success and magnitude of the godfather. the biggest thing for our future is knowing the words cross platform means playing across your mobile device, pc, and console, not just across mobile platforms. our future is about consumer choice, bringing all the options to our players and letting them choose what they want to play, where they want to play it, and what device they want to play it on. ideally, your samsung galaxy phone can play and progress while you are on the go, and then you can pick up on your console at home where you left off. it's an exciting time for gamers! what motivated hitcents to bring your games to galaxy store? ed: galaxy store provides hitcents with the opportunity to diversify our sales, by opening a new revenue stream. it allows us to widen our customer base and gain access to samsung device owners globally. what samsung developer program services did you take advantage of when publishing forgotton anne to galaxy store? ed: we integrated samsung in-app purchase payment service, which is used to make a one-off payment for goods or to pay for a regular subscription. it allows hitcents to sell premium content and virtual goods, including in-game items available for purchase during game play. did you use any marketing services to support driving both awareness and downloads for your game on galaxy store? ed: marketing and monetization is another key component of every developer’s journey. we found the galaxy store badge can be used as a resource on our website and media to support marketing our game on galaxy store. adding galaxy store badge has put users one click away from downloading our game on galaxy store. the guides and downloadable content provided easy-to-follow instructions. thanks to ed mills and alfred nguyen for sharing how they create and distribute successful game titles. follow us on twitter @samsung_dev for more developer interviews and tips for building games, apps, and more for the galaxy store.

Samsung Developers Top 10 Moments of 2021

another year will soon be past and, like many of you, we’re looking forward to next year. we’ll be taking some time the next few weeks to be with our families, and will be back in 2022 with more blogs, podcasts, product announcements, and ways for you to succeed with galaxy store and samsung platforms. with the end-of-year holidays upon us, we’re stopping to reflect on what we did in 2021. even with covid making a disruption in everyone’s lives, we’re still here to help developers find answers and hopefully, also find success. here are some of our most memorable moments. 10. developer portal refresh brought a modern look and support for mobile we’ve been working for several years to bring samsung’s developer portal into a single web infrastructure. we moved content from multiple servers and cloud services into a cms that uses open standards and a responsive design for mobile devices. we pored through a decade of content to make sure it was still timely and accurate for your needs today. we integrated the developer forums to use the same samsung account login for both the developer portal and seller portal to give you a more seamless experience. in october of this year, we made a ux refresh to the site and the most amazing thing is how easy that process went. there were no late nights in the weeks prior to launch. we were able to test the new ux in a sandbox rigorously. then the deployment to production happened almost instantaneously. we spent less time worrying about our website and more time creating the content you need to do your work. we understand how important the samsung developer portal is to you and your work. that’s why we took the time to ensure a smooth transition as we made major infrastructure changes. 9. monthly updates keep developers up-to-date on new galaxy store features the galaxy store product management team began publishing monthly newsletters to enlighten developers of the latest features and improvements to seller portal. these updates also usually appear as blog posts in the first week or two of the month. some of the major announcements include: staged app rollouts (october) local currencies in settlement and financial reports (september) private beta testing (july) galaxy store developer api (april) look for more exciting improvements in 2022 as galaxy store continues to innovate. 8. unpacked events bring exciting new product announcements galaxy unpacked in january 2021 brought announcements of the galaxy buds pro, galaxy s21, and the new galaxy smarttag. the event highlighted samsung’s design concepts with one ui 3 and integrated experiences from partners like microsoft and google. the august galaxy unpacked event brought announcements of galaxy z fold3 and galaxy z flip3 phones. these devices have many new hardware and software features for developers to build upon. this blog post highlighted many of the ways that developers can implement features supporting flex mode and s pen remote, while ensuring that users have a seamless experience with app continuity. the most anticipated announcement of the august galaxy unpacked event was the unveiling of galaxy watch4, featuring wear os, powered by samsung. as with the tizen-powered galaxy watch devices, samsung released a new tool, galaxy watch studio converter, to help existing designers bring their watch faces to wear os. designers could also start a new watch face project from scratch with the newly-released watch face studio tool. 7. remote test lab updates allow developers to experience the latest hardware as new devices are announced, developers can use the remote test lab (rtl) to ensure that their apps work properly on the new version of one ui as well as different screen resolutions and pixel densities. in 2021, the rtl development team added support for foldables and galaxy s21 devices, allowing developers to ensure their apps work correctly before the devices are available to consumers. the rtl team also added support for android studio. in september, thousands of devices were added in data centers around the world to ensure that a compatible device is always available. as part of this release, rtl was re-engineered to work exclusively in the chrome browser, so that no external software is needed to test apps on all the latest devices. 6. samsung developer forums activity the samsung developer forums, based on the popular open-source discourse project, were introduced in january 2020, replacing an aging forum infrastructure that didn’t work well on mobile devices. by using the same samsung account authentication method as the samsung developers site, we’re able to provide a nearly-seamless experience across different hosts and platforms. since their introduction, we’ve seen large numbers of visitors stop by the forums with questions. community manager ron liechty has more than 25 years of experience in managing healthy communities—his knowledge and guidance keeps the forums a useful resource for developers. some of these visitors have become our best community members, providing valuable feedback to their peers as well as helping to moderate spam and malicious content. 5. supporting game developers in 2021 games are a noticeable part of the galaxy store experience and we work with many partners and internal teams to ensure that gamers have a great experience on galaxy devices. the galaxy gamedev team works closely with some of the top publishers and developers to improve performance of top titles on mobile. this team creates tools that provide great detail on the performance of the cpu and gpu during intense moments of gameplay. the gamedev team then documents their efforts in a series of best practices and blog posts to help developers everywhere. in addition to our internal team work, we frequently work with our partners at arm to deliver relevant content for game developers. this summer, we published and promoted a number of educational articles, webinars, and training series in cooperation with the arm developer team. best practices for mobile game developers and artists new vulkan extensions for mobile: maintenance extensions new vulkan extensions for mobile: legacy support extensions new game changing vulkan extensions for mobile: descriptor indexing new game changing vulkan extensions for mobile: buffer device address new game changing vulkan extensions for mobile: timeline semaphores mike barnes from the gamedev team, together with eric cloninger from the samsung developers team, presented at the virtual gdc2021 event in july. gdc is an important event for all of us at samsung and we hope to see you all there at the live event in march 2022. 4. new voices appeared on samsung developers podcast, season 2 shortly before the covid-19 pandemic changed our lives, tony morelan from samsung developers attended a podcasting event and came back to the office inspired to start a podcast. he lined up guests from internal teams and important partners. everyone had a great time participating and it gave us a way to continue delivering quality content to developers. as 2020 turned to 2021, we continued bringing interesting guests from across the mobile design and development ecosystem. we used the podcast to talk about the upcoming virtual samsung developer conference and chat with the people that made the event a success. here are some of the highlights from season 2 of the samsung developers podcast: drazen stojcic, urarity – watch faces, design tan nguyen, butterfly-effected gmbh – galaxy themes, marketing, licensing the samsung internet advocacy team – web standards, privacy, foldable devices we’re still hoping for a return to days where we can travel and meet in person, but until that time comes, please join us in listening to these industry veterans and top developers on the samsung developers podcast. season 3 begins in early 2022. 3. blog series instructs readers on design and successful marketing without live events the past two years, we have searched for new ways to continue delivering timely and helpful advice to mobile app designers and developers. as mentioned previously, we worked with arm this year to bring great technical content front and center. we also worked with our network of top designers, developers, and thought leaders on concepts that will help you succeed on galaxy store and in creating better experiences for your users: better for all – in this blog series, we talked with leading designers and experts to help understand the increasingly important concepts behind the diversity, equality, and inclusion movement. this series discussed aspects of language used in apps, themes, and watch designs. it also highlights important guidelines to

developers the galaxy store app on your mobile device is more than just an app. behind the scenes, there is a team of developers, product managers, business leaders, and security experts devoted to ensuring the best possible online experience for consumers in 180 countries. because of their dedication, developers and designers have a great platform for monetizing their work. each year, the samsung developers team works with the galaxy store operations and business development teams to determine the best games, apps, and themes based on revenue, downloads, and impact to consumers. the result is the best of galaxy store awards. in 2018 and 2019, the best of galaxy store awards were presented live, on stage, at the samsung developer conference (sdc). without a live event in 2020 or 2021, the samsung developers team decided to continue the tradition of highlighting and awarding our top galaxy store products. even without an in-person event, we used a live premiere on youtube to have a single moment in time to celebrate with the winners. tony morelan emceed the event, but he had a lot of help from ron liechty, jeanne hsu, susie perez, and shelly wu. we thank them for their hard work. we hope you’ll enjoy watching! look for the “best of galaxy store” sash on apps, games, themes, and watch faces in galaxy store to know that you’re getting a truly unique experience. 1. discovering new opportunities at sdc21 each year, the samsung developer conference is the culmination of an incredible amount of planning and work by hundreds of people. even though the event was virtual in 2021, there was still a huge volume of work. instead of preparing for a live audience, our teams practiced in front of a galaxy phone on a tripod (really). instead of building booths and planning meals, we built a website and social media campaigns to reach a larger audience. eric cloninger and tony morelan kicked off the promotion for sdc21 with a podcast featuring a previous sdc speaker, chris shomo. before the conference, visitors were invited to create whimsical caricatures of themselves using the mysdcstack mini-site and submit their designs to social media. by participating in the event website, watching sessions, and trying the code labs, visitors would earn points toward a prize drawing after sdc. relive the experience of sdc21 by watching the keynote or any of the highlight sessions and technical talks by viewing this playlist wrapping up when sdc is finished, our team takes a collective deep breath, happy to be done. it is a satisfying experience to pull off a big industry event. we don’t know yet how we’ll handle live events, but we remain optimistic that some will occur. we are making plans and we hope we’ll be able to see you, somewhere, in 2022. 🤞 take care. stay warm (or cool). best wishes to you all and happy new year!

Integrate In-App payment into merchant apps using Samsung Pay SDK

integrate in-app payment into merchant apps using samsung pay sdk objective learn how to integrate in-app payment with your merchant apps using samsung pay sdk partnership request to use the samsung pay sdk, you must become an official samsung partner once done, you can fully utilize this code lab you can learn more about the partnership process by visiting samsung pay page, here in samsung developers notein accordance with the applicable samsung partner agreements, this code lab covers setup and use of the samsung pay sdk for purposes of integrating the samsung pay app with partner apps the use cases and corresponding code samples included are representative examples only and should not be construed as either recommended or required overview the samsung pay sdk is an application framework for integrating selected samsung pay features with android-based partner apps on samsung devices in-app payment, which allows customers to pay for products and services with samsung pay, is one of the operations supported alongside push provisioning and open favorite cards partner apps can leverage the samsung pay sdk to perform different operations ― push provisioning and open favorite cards for issuers; in-app payment for merchants key components include partner app app developed by merchant or issuer for making online or offline payments and provisioning payment cards through samsung pay samsung pay sdk sdk integrated into the partner app for direct communication with samsung pay samsung pay app pay app with which the samsung pay sdk communicates financial network comprises the payment gateways, acquirers, card associations, and issuers that participate in transaction processing under agreement with the merchant most common use case for in-app payment the merchant app allows the user to make payments with samsung pay upon user selection of the samsung pay option, the merchant app calls the apis included in the samsung pay sdk to initiate a transaction with the samsung pay app the samsung pay app responds with the tokenized payment information necessary to complete the transaction the merchant app forwards this payment information to the designated payment gateway pg , either directly through the merchant's web server or indirectly via the samsung-pg interface server for standard transaction processing for more detailed information, see the official samsung pay sdk programming guide set up your environment you will need the following samsung wallet or samsung pay app depending on the country a compatible mobile device with android marshmallow 6 0 or android api level 23 or later android os versions samsung pay sdk android studio latest version recommended java se development kit jdk 11 or later sample code here is a sample code for you to start coding in this code lab download it and start your learning experience! in-app payment sample code 1 90 mb integrate the samsung pay sdk with your app the following steps comprise the general process for integrating the samsung pay sdk with your app sign up for the samsung pay developers site by clicking sign up and register your samsung account or create it if you don't already have one , then sign in follow the on-screen instructions for adding your app and creating a new service to generate the service id you'll need to use in your project download the samsung pay sdk by going to resources > sdk download add the samsung pay sdk jar file samsungpay jar to your android project using android studio or file explorer develop your partner app with the required api calls and callbacks for samsung pay integration upload a release version of your app to the samsung pay developers site for approval upon samsung approval, publish your partner app to the google play store and samsung galaxy apps notethe service id is already provided in the sample code for this code lab however, this service id is for test purposes only and cannot be used for an actual application or service using the provided test service id enforces your app to use the fixed properties below service id 0915499788d6493aa3a038 package name com test beta pay app version 1 0/ 1 or higher start your project after downloading the sample code containing the project files, in android studio click open to open existing project locate the downloaded android project sampleonlinepay from the directory and click ok add the samsungpaysdk_2 18 00_release jar file from the sdk's libs folder to your android project's libs folder go to gradle scripts > build gradle module sampleonlinepay app and enter the following to the dependencies block implementation files 'libs/samsungpaysdk_2 18 00_release jar' if the target sdk version is 30 android 11 or the r-os , you must include the following <queries> element in androidmanifest xml <queries> <package android name="com samsung android spay" /> </queries> configure the api level as of sdk version 1 4, enhanced version control management has been introduced to improve backward compatibility and handle api dependency from country and service type for example, if a partner integrates the latest sdk—for instance, api level 2 18—but continues to use apis based on level 1 4, the partner app remains compatible with samsung pay apps supporting api level 1 4 without upgrading the samsung pay app implement the following in application tag of androidmanifest xml <meta-data android name="spay_sdk_api_level" android value="2 17" /> // most recent sdk version is recommended to leverage the latest apis add an xml layout and modify the activity

oncreate method databinding = databindingutil setcontentview this, r layout activity_main check samsung pay status in the mainactivity, create the samsungpay instance to determine if the device supports samsung pay and if the samsung pay button can be displayed as the user's payment option, check the samsung pay status samsungpay requires a valid partnerinfo from the merchant app, which consists of service id and service type during onboarding, the samsung pay developers site assigns the service id and service type in the mainactivity, declare the partnerinfo variable private

the getsamsungpaystatus api method returns a spay_not supported status code merchant apps using sdk 1 4 or earlier must check their app's android version activate the samsung pay app the samsungpay class provides an api method called activatesamsungpay to activate the samsung pay app on the same device where the partner app is running if the getsamsungpaystatus returns spay_not_ready and the extra_error_reason is error_spay_setup_not_complete, the partner app needs to display an appropriate message to the user then, call activatesamsungpay to launch samsung pay app and request the user to

if the time limit expires, the transaction fails in the mainactivity class, declare the paymentmanager variable private lateinit var paymentmanager paymentmanager then, in oncreate , set an onclicklistener method before calling the updatesamsungpaybutton function to trigger the startinapppaywithcustomsheet function when the samsungpaybutton is clicked databinding samsungpaybutton setonclicklistener { startinapppaywithcustomsheet } lastly, create a function to call startinapppaywithcustomsheet method of the paymentmanager class /* * paymentmanager startinapppaywithcustomsheet
